Karl-Heinz Sohn (born April 19, 1928 in Barmen ; † November 3, 2017 in Essen ) was a German economist , state secretary and manager.

Life

The son of a master weaver in a textile factory in Wuppertal studied typesetter after graduating from high school in 1948–1951, then studied social science at the Academy for Community Economics in Hamburg until 1953 and economics at the University of Cologne until 1956 . His doctorate as Dr. rer. pole. took place in 1963 with a work on professional association and industrial union .

In 1957 he started at the German Trade Union Federation , was head of the education department of the DGB in Cologne for the first year and then an employee in the economic department of the DGB state district in Düsseldorf and a consultant for concentration issues. From 1960 to spring 1966 he was head of the co-determination department of the DGB's federal executive committee in Düsseldorf. In the fall of 1965, he pleaded with the young entrepreneurs for the privatization of the huge union assets. When the Kruppschen Hütten- und Bergwerke Rheinhausen were to be merged with the Bochumer Verein in the winter of 1965/66 , whereby numerous employees in the then smaller supervisory board would forfeit their mandates, the DGB sent him to Berthold Beitz , where Sohn found an unbureaucratic solution.

At the suggestion of IG Metall boss Otto Brenner , Beitz brought him to Krupp in 1966, as the successor to the advanced Gerhard Stoltenberg , as head of the economics department and head of corporate planning.

The SPD member was State Secretary in the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation from 1969 to 1974. He served under Development Minister Erhard Eppler when he was sent as a special envoy to Chile at the end of January 1971 , where he was supposed to dissuade President Salvador Allende and Foreign Minister Clodomiro Almeyda from establishing diplomatic relations with East Berlin. On his return he told the ZDF that Chile would recognize the GDR in March and that the federal government would accept this and would not take any consequences in terms of development aid.

Then he was chairman of the management of the German Society for Economic Cooperation and managing director and partner of the software publisher Econ Management Service GmbH in Essen, a subsidiary of Dietrich Oppenberg's Rheinisch-Westfälische Verlagsgesellschaft, until 1983 . Together with Oppenberg and Wilhelm Haferkamp, ​​he set up the NRZ Press House Foundation .

He took part in the Bergedorf Round Table of the Körber Foundation . In 2003, when he reached the age limit of 75, he resigned as the longest-serving member of the 16-person governing body of the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland .
